March 15, 200917 yr Ok. So I finally got the t-belt on yesterday. It even ran without destroying the engine. But in the middle of the night last night it came to me that I don't remember pushing the hydraulic tensioner to the left before tightening it. (You know, how the holes in the brackets on the tensioner are oblong left and right, and from advice here and elsewhere you put on the tensioner loosely then after getting belt on supposed to slide it left and tighten.) Now how important is this sliding left part. Is there enough length in the tensioner to make up for not sliding? Please, no-one tell me that I have to take it all apart again... '97

March 15, 200917 yr Author Well, I did tighten the bolts and pulled the pin. I just don't remember pushing it to the left first.
March 15, 200917 yr 99% chance you are fine. I wouldn't loose sleep over it. You;'d have to take off the belt, and remove the tensioner, recompress it.....balh blah...etc.... It should be like the Rotiserier Grill. "set it and forget it"
